January 2012 reading list

My cooking has been dismally boring this past month. Sweet potatoes until we burst, local meat, greens, carrots, onions, and very little else save those little treats like cauliflower and organic blueberries and bananas from the store. I'm a little done with winter, folks, so instead of exercising my culinary prowess I've been reading about food and nutrition, with a little food politics thrown in for good measure,. Here's my January reading list in case you want to follow along:

Well Fed: Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat
by Melissa Joulwan: This is a classic paleo (Whole30-style) cookbook with plenty of intriguing international flavors and tons of time-saving tips. I'm still working my way through the book and will review soon.

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
by Weston A Price: I'm finally getting around to reading this classic. I avoided it for a [really] long time because of my laziness, but I read enough referencing this book that I felt I should dive into it for myself.

Primal Body, Primal Mind: Beyond the Paleo Diet for Total Health and a Longer Life
by Nora Gedgaudas: Gedgaudas writes about nutrition and its link to mental health, among other things. I'm excited to get through this one.

Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit by Larry Estabrook: I've been meaning to get all the way through this book for ages.
